The objective of this work was to study the effect of foaming parameters on the physical and phytochemical properties of tomato powder. A central composite rotatable design of experiments was defined with two parameters (concentration of soy protein isolate [SPI]: 1–5% and whipping time: 2–14 min) with 5 levels for each parameter. The foam was prepared by whipping tomato puree after adding SPI and dried in a thin layer (4 mm ± 1) at 50 °C. The obtained results showed the predominant effect of the concentration of SPI on the physical and phytochemical properties compared to whipping time. The powder prepared under foaming conditions of 5% SPI and whipping time of 8 min showed an increase of 97, 39, 62, and 46% in the total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity, and porosity, respectively, while the bulk density decreased by about 25%.

The most frequent type of primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), accounting for approximately 90% of primary liver cancers and a third leading cause of cancer deaths. In the current study, the synthesized compound 3 was re-formulated using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) with weight ratio (1:1) via sol-gel technique. The prepared material has been examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray elemental analysis (EDX), and scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM). Herein, we investigate the mode of action of 3 as potent anti-liver cancer in vivo as normal and nano-forms. Rats were given a single dosage of 50 mg/kg b.wt. of HCC through an intraperitoneal injection (ip). A single dosage of CCl4 (2 ml/kg IP) was also given to rats 2 weeks later. Several liver, tumor and oxidative stress biomarkers were detected including liver enzymes; alanine and aspartate aminotransferases (ALT and AST), alkaline phosphatse (ALP), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxide (MDA), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), α-fetoprotein and α-L-Fucosidase. Hepatic pathological pictures were also performed for the documentation of the presence of HCC and supported the biochemical results. Moreover, the DNA damage in liver tissues of male rats using comet assay was studied. The results showed that the HePG2 (− ve) group of rats exhibited a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in DNA damage values (9.30 ± 0.89) relative to other treatment groups. Nevertheless, the DNA damage values in the HePG2 (+ ve) and 5-flurouracil groups were significantly higher (P < 0.01) compared to the HePG2 (− ve) group. Additionally, HePG2 (coated 3) and HePG2 (3) groups exhibited significant decrease in the DNA damage compared to those in HePG2 (+ ve) group.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune enteropathy. It results from genetic predisposition and exposure to gluten-containing food. The prevalence and presentation of CD vary among populations. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the prevalence and clinical characteristics of CD in children in Bahrain. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children diagnosed with CD in the pediatric department, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain, in 1988-2018. Their clinical, biochemical, serological, and histopathological findings were documented. Adherence to the recommended gluten-free diet (GFD) was assessed. Results: Of 86 patients with CD, 67 were included. The CD prevalence was 0.02%. A significant increase in prevalence in the last decade was observed (P<0.0001). Thirty-eight patients (56.7%) were males. The median (interquartile range) age at presentation was 4.45 (1.5-7.3) years. A family history of CD was positive in 13 out of 43 patients (30.2%). Pallor and failure to thrive were the most common presentations. The most frequent associated disease was iron-deficiency anemia in 23 patients (69.7%). Positive serology was found in 32 of 45 patients (71.1%). Marsh-Oberhuber type III was found in 16 of 35 patients (45.7%). Seropositive patients were significantly older (P=0.025) and had more severe duodenal histology (P=0.002). Adherence to GFD was poor in 27 patients (64.3%). Conclusion: This study revealed a significant increase in CD prevalence over the last decade. Atypical presentations were frequent. Most patients had poor adherence to GFD.
